Murphy, NC—Cherokee County Sheriff Derrick Palmer announced the March 22nd, 2015 arrest of Angel Marie Thomas, a 30 year old Murphy North Carolina woman for narcotics violations.

On or about March 21, 2015 at about 11:30 pm deputies with the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office were called to a Peachtree Community mobile home park to investigate a possible breaking and entering. While in route to the call a deputy observed a pickup truck which matched the description of a vehicle that was seen at the mobile home park.

When the vehicle was stopped for further investigation Thomas was a passenger in the vehicle. While the deputy was conducting an investigation as to identity of the occupants it was learned that Thomas has proved false information as to her identity and that she had done so because she knew the existence of a warrant in Fannin County Georgia.

Thomas was arrested and brought to the Cherokee County Detention Center where she was afforded the opportunity to turn over any illegal substances she may have on her person. During the search of Thomas a quantity of methamphetamine and other controlled substances were found that Thomas had not turned over.

Thomas is currently confined in the Cherokee County Detention Center under a $15,000.00 secure bond. She is expected to appear in Cherokee County District Court on April 22, 2015.
